Also Italian Barbera, Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and structuring Petite Sirah. Strong Rhône tradition with Viognier, Syrah, Mourvèdre and Grenache. Cooling by altitude rather than fog, sunny ripeness with preserved acidity, eclectic identity of the modern Gold Rush.
The wine region of California
Powerful, sunny reds: dense Napa Cabernet Sauvignon (blackcurrant, chocolate, tobacco, ample tannins), spicy, jammy Zinfandel from the Sierra Foothills, silky red-fruited Pinot Noir on the cool coast (Sonoma, Russian River, Central Coast). Opulent, buttery Chardonnay, notes of yellow fruit and vanilla. Varied climate, from the hot interior to the Pacific-cooled coast. 80% of US production, 139 AVAs including Napa (1st AVA, 1981).
The word of the wine: Tastevin
Metal cup, wide and of low height, being used to mirror and taste the wine. Still used in wine brotherhoods for its emblematic and folkloric character, the tastevin has been replaced by the various tasting glasses.
